TWO NEGROES DROWNED.

The Result of Squall on the Halifax
On Tuesday afternoon last party of
ten negro laborers. in crossing the Hall
fax River to Ormond, were caught in a
squat, when the boat capsized and threw
all of them into the water. Eight of the
darkies held on to the upturned boat
until party of white men, headed by
Mr.. Amsden, for whom the negroes had
been working, went to their rescue, when
they were taken out of the water and
carried ashore, The other two, Will Wes-
ton, of Brunswick, Ga, and George
Bingham, of San MateO, were drowned.
When our informant left Ormond
Messrs. Connell, Watson and Ellsworth,
assisted by several darkies, were drag
ging the river for the bodies of the I'M
fortunate men.
When the squall struck the boat the
negroes became panic stricken snd lost
entire control of it, and when taken
from the water the eight survivors were
more dead than alive from fright Had
it not been for the daring bravery of
MIR. Amsden and other white men i'm
going to their rescue in the heavy sea,
there is no doubt but the entire party
would have persisted.

A Roof on Fire.

Yesterday afternoon at 2:l5 O'Clock
the roof of Mrs. Smiths boarding house,
on Laurel street, opposite Third, caught
fire from the sparks of passing
jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Rail
way locomotive. 1t was extinguished by
the occupants of the house with buckets
of water before the flames got any head
way, and but slight damage was done.
The West End Fire Company. of which
Captain John T. Gay, is foreman. re-
sponded quickly to the alarm, the hose
carriage reaching the premises i'm just
two minutes and thirty seconds after the
alarm was given, but too late to be of
service, as the flame had already been
extinguished.
A number of houses along our rail
roads have caught fire from this cause.
The railroads should use some means to
keep the dangerous sparks from flying
ON the inflamable roofs of the houses
along Main and Laurel streets.

WhOrtleberry Pie and Sardinps.

A stranger arrived in Palatka several
days ago, and finding time hanging heavy
on his hands, proceeded to- fill up with
red liquors The quality of the whisky,
or the quantity, combined with the hot
weather, soon put him in communica-
ton with what is commonly known as
the monkeys" and while the way he
raved was pitiable enough, it is not with
out it's humorous side On awaking one
morning, suffering all the agonies of the
Jim jams, he called loudly and begged
hard for a priest to come to his relief
While waiting for the priest to come he
exclaimed: Holy Mary, mother of
Jesus, see what a small piece of whortle-
berry pie and sardine can do" And
all the persuasive powers of his friends
could not induce him to acknowledge
that it was whisky and not the pie and
sardine that had brought him to his
pitiful condition

Editor Of the Pdldtka Ne,rs.

thought of it and wrote about it, Your
article has the true ring, and will doubt
less lead even to the wedding ring.
But there is another side from which
the matter may be viewed and 1 want
to tell you just how a doctor looks at it,
He sees i'm the stagnant water of the
bitches, with their accumulated filth,
under the burning rays of semi-tropi-
cal sun, the very conditions most favor
able to putrefaction, and the generation
and exhalation of poisonous gases,
which, in various ways, find access into
the human system. He not only sees
these conditions, but he sees the results
of these conditions at the bedside of the

HOW IT INCREASES.


Another Of the Times-Uni0n's Boasts Ex-
Ploded.
Not long since, the Jacksonville Times
Union, in making boast that THE Pa
LATKA NEWS would not encroach on it's
circulation, took occasion to say that its
circulation in Palatka was increasing,
and that it would confine THE NEWS to
its own vicinity for readers. The fact is
THE NEWS is selling more papers in Jack
vile than the Times Union has sold in
Palatka since we began printing the As
sales have fallen off considerably in this
city, as can readily be seen by the fol-
lowing statements from the news-dealers
that the T.-U. is SO fond of quoting:
During the month of March, when
THE PALATKA News first printed the
Associated Press news, r. j. Rifles took
twenty to twenty-five copies of tine
Times Union each day. The sales fell off
so rapidly that in April he reduced his
order to ten per day, which number he
still receives, but sells now on an aver
age only five copies per day.
r. H. COcnTstflc III tOoh
copies Of the Times Union per day,
which order he has reduced to twenty
per day, and now sells on an average
only ten a day.
A. q. Phillips, during the month of
March, took twenty-five copies of the
Times Union each day, and takes now
fifteen copies. His average sales are
about ten copies per day.
The Times Union can take these
facts and figure out the increase of sales
in Palatka. 1t is also perfectly welcome
to boast as much as suits it's taste on its
growing popularity, if such stuff can be
choked down the Threats of it's readers.
These figures also show how the T.-U.
is confirming THE PALATKA News to a

and prove that the Hind was good and
that it wonld be safe for him to invest
his money therein. So all this talk that
the men who take up land first do not
do so to make home Of it, but simply
for speculation, so far very good.
But the class Of men have been doing
the same thing ever since these great
United States were colonies. I would
ask has it been injurious to us? Have
we. as a people, not improved our time
and opened up and settled our great
co lntry faster in this way than could
be done in any other. The News man
must have stubbed his toe against q
different class of men from what l
have, for he says ''the settlers do not
want the landin Fall River and Custer
counties surveyed, SO they can get their
filing on it, because as long as they
hold a squatter's right they do not have
to pay taxes.l Now Ithen the men l
have seen and talked with are not
built that way For as the STAR
truly says, .'the average settler is not
satisfied with mere possession by
squatters right, but wants to own the
!andhe cultivatcs and upon which he
has established home aud invested ell
he has in substantial improvements"
Very few squatters are willing to take
the risk Of investing any great amount
of money or work on claim that they
cannot call their own for fear by some
means they would loseit. But.if they
can file OH it and know that within
given time they can get deed and
own it and after filing lie knows he is
safe IN cxpending all the money and
doing all the wook he may wish to.
So say with the people Of the balance
of this part of Fall River county, sur
vey and plat the land and it will settle
up fast enough. IL the first settlers
wish to sell, let them, for just as good
or better men will buy and make this
their future home. The first will
open the way for the rest.
